EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the death of Manfred, King of Sicily, during the Battle of Benevent in 1266. In this historical battle, Manfred I, a member of the Hohenstaufen dynasty and ruler of Sicily, faced off against his rival Charles I, also known as Charles of Anjou and king of Naples. The engraving from "Kaiser, Kaiser, Konig A Papst" by Richard Roth in 1895 beautifully depicts this intense clash between two powerful kings. The artist's attention to detail brings to life the chaos and violence that unfolded on that fateful day. Manfred's defeat at the hands of Charles marked a significant turning point in Sicilian history. This image serves as a reminder not only of Manfred's tragic demise but also highlights the fierce rivalry between these medieval monarchs. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captured this historic event with his black and white medium. His work showcases both the nobility and brutality associated with aristocracy during this period. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era defined by power struggles and territorial disputes. It is a poignant reminder that even those who wielded great authority were not immune to their own mortality.
